two chicks write some LARPs and make a half-assed website about it

stuff we've written - stuff we're running - stuff we're planning - stuff about us

May 5th, 2010: A general update with information on our works in progress and, finally, links to photo galleries from precious events! Specifically The Sound of Drums and both runs of Shebopaleileigh.

We have also decided that our troope subtitle is officially "can't sleep, tree will eat us," but Tory hasn't figured out where to put it on the website yet. This probably means she'll redesign the logo at some point, but she's too busy writing a game.

Paranoid and Crotchety is the hypothetically awesome LARP-writing team of Lily and Tory, two short fangirls. We write theatrical LARPs, as we prefer card-waving to stick-waving, and enjoy inflicting long-winded character sheets upon hapless geeks. We like weird-ass characters, angst, bisexuality, method acting, and crotchety old men with shotguns.

Some of our games are written by one or the other of us, and some are co-written. We pretty much share a brain, though it is not made of foam. We have shared a brain for many years, and written and run games together since February, 2009.

Lily is the slightly shorter fangirl with dark brown hair. She is Russian, and wants to play in everything. When she is not playing, she is writing, GMing, or talking, because she's a Gemini. She also has an unholy lust for bluesheets and casting questionnaires.

Tory is the slightly taller fangirl with red hair. She is (part) Danish, and often GMs. When she is not GMing, she is writing or working on the website, to make up for the fact that she doesn't talk. She is also responsible for the little booklets, cloth baggies, and generally insane production values of her games, because she's a Virgo.

Sarah, another short fangirl with pale brown hair, is a auxilliary member minion. Sarah is a good minion! She makes awesome props, and will probably GM at some point.

Several people who are not short fangirls have helped us run games. Annie (Lifeline) is a tall fangirl. Andrew (The Treaty of Pallas) is a tall fanboy. Josh (Lifeline) is a Josh.

There are, so far, two frequently asked questions. In response to one, we would like to announce that Lily is paranoid and Tory is crotchety. Generally. Sometimes, on alternate Tuesdays, Sarah or the writing skunk get involved, and then it's just confusing. In response to the other, yes, we will re-run The Sound of Drums.
